"But...how did you tell us about "Audra doing Gypsy" if that production closed a long time before you even joined this site?! Oh wait, look who I'm talking to..."well spotted!!!

Then plaster over the holes in the wall and never allow a stunt like this again."If you're seriously asking, it is because it can take a few days to get the company out to remove the letters. It's not like tearing a poster off a telephone pole. You've got a cherry picker, trained staff, and more.and yet there was no del...

they should sell tickets to watch that name come off the wall ...

i might have missed something, but wasn't this supposed to get a run at The Public first?

JMH27 said: "Wonder if they would try to cast some “names” in this or if that would drive the already high cost up further?"they already have all the "name" they need: Paddington

that's a surprisingly short run ... and the email from The Shed was worded in a way that seemed to sort of suggest this production is the first step in a broader plan.

Charley Kringas Inc said: "Also, the fact that they wrote a musical about a castrato, and then instead of casting a counter-tenor, just had a masked woman sing the castrato songs, is baffling to me." ^this x 100.

mitch: thank you very much for searching out an existing thread instead of just starting a new one.

CukorLover said: "Thanks for saving me the time—I agree with everything you said. If this was ‘running out of gas’ two weeks ago, it’s long past empty now. A slog to sit through."I'm confused: if you didn't see it ("thanks for saving me the time"), how do you know it's a "slog" to sit through?fwiw, my husband did NOT want to see this -- hated the TV show -- but afterward said that he thought it was well done and he enjoyed himself.

the only thing that would make sitting through The Vagina Monologues again even more insufferable would be: "starring Matthew Broderick."

malcs98 said: "Tag said: "The animatronic is the gimmick. If the West End production was using a "hat with ears", we wouldn't be talking about this show right now.The show is too expensive to make sense on Broadway."While that is true, the animatronicis more than just a gimmick for Paddington…it’s also an incredible marketing tool, I mean it had a featurefor BritishVogue, it performed on Strictly Come Dancing,and it presented at the BAFTAs. If they keep this up and apply this same tactic for ...
